How does what we hear, read and see influence us?
the quote above this post was the driving question that got everything started.
this project taught us about the world of graphic design and marketing. Along with dos and donts of advertising, techniques used by professionals, and how to make our own advertisements!
Here is an example of one of the advertisements I made in the process of this project. We got to email back and forth with one of The Raven’s managers to get critiqued on our advertisements, as well as bettering our professional email skills.
What I found the most interesting throughout this project was reading ‘The Gospel According to Larry’. I thought the way Larry explained consumerism was very insightful and made me understand the concept a lot better.
Another important part of this project were the Milestones we used to find out there answer to our driving question. Here are a few examples:
^Milestone one (‘Welcome Home” commercial analysis)
^Milestone two (Historical media analysis)
^Milestone three ( Historical advertising analysis)
Here is the photo I decided to do my historical advertising analysis with.

My explanation is below:
We also got the amazing chance of getting the amazing chances to get to speak to Derik Hepburn and Alya Reynolds. Derik Hepburn helped us learn about advertisement and have our advertising drafts critiqued, and Alya taught us about Apple and how they have a different approach to advertising and how important every little detail in Apple is.
